Description
American Publishers Award for Professional & Scholarly Excellence (PROSE) Winner-Award for Excellence in Social Sciences (2009)
Neuroeconomics is a new highly promising approach to understanding the neurobiology of decision making and how it affects cognitive
social interactions between humans and societies/economies. This book is the first edited reference to examine the science behind neuroeconomics,
including how it influences human behavior and societal decision making from a behavioral economics point of view. Presenting a truly
interdisciplinary approach,
Neuroeconomics presents research from neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral economics,
and includes chapters by all the major figures in the field, including two Economics nobel laureates. Carefully edited for a cohesive
presentation of the material, the book is also a great textbook to be used in the many newly emerging graduate courses on Neuroeconomics
in Neuroscience, Psychology, and Economics graduate schools. This groundbreaking work is sure to become the standard reference source
for this growing area of research.
Audience:
Researchers and graduate students in: neuroeconomics, cognitive neuroscience, cognitive psychology, systems neuroscience, behavioral neuroscience,
cognitive psychology, neuropsychology, as well as behavioral and theoretical economics.
